I am so sorry for not replying, but thank you for doing that. I know that Turkey Vultures have a highly developed sense of smell and can locate carrion miles away, but for some reason I never thought that grain had enough of a scent to be noticed.
Ignorance fought, thank you!
…a while back the state got tired of finding bodies in the mine shafts so capped many of the smaller ones with concrete, the larger ones are fenced and boarded up.
Nettie, if DH is able to stay awake for longer than 10 minutes, you might want to think about getting him into the shower or even a bath if possible. His body is used to being physically active and just laying around for days is probably making his joints and such hurt. I hope you stay well.
Snerts. Mom says our back and forth is always the most entertaining part of her visit. Sometimes I do wonder how my eyes haven’t rolled to Australia yet.
Are you going to get the bidet toilets with heated water and fans? That would mean you would only need a roll of terlit paper a year! Mine uses tap water but it doesn’t get cold enough here to worry about a midnight blast of ice water over my nether region.
It’s really surprising the discounts and bennies available that people don’t know about. I learned about asking for help with medical bills back when hubs had his quad bypass and like you never thought that I could get so much forgiven by asking nicely.
We get a 25% discount on our electricity bill just because I applied during the 6 week period our income was low enough to qualify years ago. Every year the discount runs out and the electric company sends us a letter asking for financial documents. Every year we send them a copy of our taxes that clearly show that we are over income and every year we are approved again. I suspect it’s a case of nobody wanting to bother actually looking at the documentation but hey, we’ll take it.
Many, many hugs. I don’t know how you feel, but I can sure empathize. I miss Mom so much it hurts to call her. More hugs and sympathy.
And now our internet is fading again. Oh bother. My BFF lives even more remotely than we do AND they don’t do hobbies. Everything in their home is powered by their cell phone hot spots. They are suffering even more than hubs and they both work somewhere with coverage.
Today I picked up our surplus food boxes. I keep going later and later because I have a certain area I want to wait in and people just can’t seem to stand it if there is room between the cars. There is plenty of food and I don’t care if 3 or 4 cars park in front of me, I don’t want to park in the sun and I don’t want to block the intersection. I’m fairly sure I’m going to see one of the ranch guys drop a huge load of hay on someone parking there.
And the interwebz have become so unreliable that I’m hearing whining. I’m going to say good night and then hang around for a while just because.
